As
the global community is moving into the electronic age, where
effectiveness and efficiency is measured by the rapidity and accuracy
of information transmission and retrieval, it has become imperative for
the Honorable Judges, advocates and teachers also to make use of this
information technology and help the legal environment keep pace with
the social milieu. Also, as the Indian legal fraternity is providing
professional services to a new generation of international businessmen,
multi-national corporations and others, they have no choice but to keep
pace with the information technology age and provide those services
using tools which increase accuracy and reduce the man hours spent in
mechanical searches. Very simply put, the time has come for the Indian
legal fraternity to "polish its act and hone its tools."
